Honeydew Hues

via Topix Bowling Green WinterFruit Carving

When is the last time you had a great honeydew? I love honeydew melons but most often they're terrible. I'm happy to report that in the US we are in prime honeydew season. Go to your grocer and look for one that has a yellow hue on the outside. If it is still a lovely shade of white, give it a few days. Smell the stem area for a faint, beautiful honeydew scent. It's ready!

In honor of the fabulous honeydew I recently sliced open, I gathered up an assortment of honeydew items. My intent was to find honeydew green- not avocado green, not granny smith apple green, nor lime, but honeydew. In my mind, I picture a cool almost sagey color (but with less blue). Green with hints of creamy white. Easier said than done. Here's the roundup!


A great combo here- honeydew green stripes paired with white and cream.

Pottery Barn Honeydew Stripe Bedding (on final clearance)

And again, paired with whites and cream. Isn't this so soothing?

A deeper honeydew (bordering on avocado, really) but I love the matted seashell images and large bundle of flowers.

Back to a brighter green! LOVE this bathroom. Just what a country farmhouse should have.

Ramsey Farmhouse

Here, the honeydew largely serves as an accent (chairs) but if you squint and if your computer monitor cooperates, you can see the palest hint of honeydew on the wall. Perfection.

More pale green walls, grounded with dark wood. Are those green glass shutters above the bed? Love the accent color there.

Qualia Resort, Austrailia

How about a few honeydue-hued personal accessories? (OK, the name brand is Honeydew but isn't that green cute?)

More honeydew and pink- epitome of preppy.

Bonus: honeydew-colored packaging and scent.

And home accents- adorable knobs. Perfect for any girl's room.

Fantastic bedding on this website. Here, the green is paired with golden shades.

And perfect in the outdoors. I ADORE this little house (more on this in a future post!)

A tasty Honeydew Beverage, perhaps?

We'll end with Honeydew paint/material samples.

Benjamin Moore Honeydew

Sherwin Williams Honeydew

Krylon Honeydew (this is a ridiculous color sample, I realize, but it was the best representation I could find!) This would be fantastic in the yard for accents, I think.

Enjoy!
